At last, THE application we’ve all waited for – fring. Fring is a free Symbian S60 (support for S60 3rd Edition is coming soon) 3G mobile application that allows you to make free mobile calls, send instant messages to other fring users, and communicate with PC based VoIP applications such as Skype and Google Talk.

How fringe works

Fring is the only PC independent, mobile VoIP service with no air-time costs, no need for proprietary hardware and no Wi-Fi or other VoIP network limits. Its patent pending P2P Mobile VoIP technology, enables working transparently over 3G networks while bypassing traditional mobile voice and sms text messaging services.

The top reasons why you should try fring:

  • You don’t pay for air-time
  • Youdon’t even waste your Skype-Out minutes
  • Fring doesn’t ask you for credit card details
  • True mobility with multiple PC based VoIP providers
  • Easy to use

fringFring can be simply downloaded into your handset via SMS received from another “fringster” or from fring’s website. It’s easy, it provides the full-duplex voice quality, and it’s FREE… so why wait!?

  • dusanb

    That means you don’t have a smartphone, hence Fring won’t work.
